And while it is with a heavy heart that I report the loss of our comrades in arms, Ben Hislop and Eva Coré, they died as they lived, protecting Humanity to the last. And what they helped discover not only confirms everything I believe, it has proven to me, beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is something out there to protect humanity against. Desolas was right. The stars look warm and inviting to us. Places to be explored, knowledge to be had, riches to be made. But we will not always be welcome. Those who came before may not be willing to share. It is the way of things. It is inevitable. A dark time is coming. Humanity will be tested. And while we may not know who is doing the testing or why, we must meet the challenge as we have met all others. We will succeed. Because to do anything else would be inhuman. We will watch the dark places, and bring illumination. There is no magic, only technology. Tools that we can master. Tools that we must master. Not just to survive, but for the betterment of Mankind. We can, and will, take our rightful place in the stars. This is my manifesto. I hope you will join my cause. End recording.
